Daniel Gonzalez
I am a second year PhD student studying Computer Science at the University of Notre Dame. I’m advised by Tim Weninger.
My research is currently focused on modeling the temporal behaviour and evolution of graphs. In particular, I’m interested in interpretable and grammar-based approaches to modeling. More broadly, I’m interested in stochastic analysis and Bayesian statistics.
For fun, I like to learn about ecology and environmental science. For advanced fun, I like to boulder and play music.
